I am new to Android WebView, in my application i need to display a web site conatins 3 web pages. In the first web page there will be a link to navigate to the second page and second to third page. I given the URL in the WebView, the first page is displayed perfectly, when i click the link it directly opens the browser application to display the second page. But i want to display the second page in the WebView itself. Please find my code below:
WebView forumView=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.forumView);
forumView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
forumView.loadUrl("url");
As i said i am very new to WebView my code might be wrong, please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance,

This piece of code will help you.
wbb = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView_tobe_loaded);
WebSettings wbset=wbb.getSettings();
wbset.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wbb.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
String url="http://www.google.com";
System.out.println(getdeviceid());
wbb.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wbb.loadUrl(url);
You'll have to intercept the clicks yourself if you don't want the default Android behavior.
You can monitor events in a WebView using a WebViewClient. The method you want is shouldOverrideUrlLoading(). This allows you to perform your own action when a particular URL is selected.
You set the WebViewClient of your WebView using the setWebViewClient() method.
If you look at the WebView sample in the SDK there's an example which does just what you want. It's as simple as:
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}

I am trying to write an app I want it to open a web page and auto login I am not sure how to go about sending the info to the browser from the app code.
So basically you are going to need to load in the webpage within a WebView (You can find instructions for that here and then probably push javascript into the WebView that will fill in the fields and load the page.
In your activity's onCreate:
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
#Override
public boolean onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// Check here if url is equal to your site URL.
}
});
webview.loadUrl("http://yourwebsite.com/");
This line enables javascript in your WebView:
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
Then you can use the WebViewClient to detect when the page you want has fully loaded. When that happens, you can use:
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.getElementsByName('username').value = 'username'");
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.getElementsByName('password').value = 'password'");
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.forms['login'].submit()");
And it should automatically log you in. It's worth noting that this generally isn't easy to do on a lot of sites since they will randomize the login control ids and it also doesn't generally sit well with users if an application is logging into a website automatically for them.
I am developing android application to use multiple window in same window.
I am including multiple layouts with multiple purpose. For example one part of window will have browser and one part has to display Facebook or twitter news feed, and one more to display current news which can be get from rss feed.
For the browser I am using WebView in which user can search some thing in browser.
But if I use webview to search something it is opened in android browser.
Is there anyway to display webpages with in Webview and if I search anything It should also be displayed with in web view?
Guide me in right way.
Try this solution .
WebView view =(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});
Thanks
I am developing an android application in which I want to show a website, which have links in it. When any link is clicked, then it plays an online stream.
Till now I have developed an app which work alright. In this I have used webview to display first screen. The live stream is not supported in webview, so I used webchromeclient.
Now the problem is when any link is clicked, a new browser opens and plays the stream and also shows the address bar and address of page loaded page.
I want to hide the address of new loaded page.
and if possible, also I wnt to keep webchromeclient in existing screen, not a new browser.
in this case you have to customize the WebViewClient like this
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// This is my web site, so do not override; let my WebView load the page
return true;
}
}
}
Then create an instance of this new WebViewClient for the WebView:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
for further have a look on this, and read carefully
I have an Android app with that displays a mobile website (WebView), in the mobile website there are links redirecting to a PDF, Excel and video files.
When try to open it in my regular browser my phone asks to open it with another app or it start a download, so I can open it afterwards.
But in my WebView app it either doesn't work, no response or it displays a "Page unavailable" error.
Is it even possible?
To handle links in WebView, you can use the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method of WebViewClient class. Consider the following example;
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.infoView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// Assuming you are giving link to some PDF file.
if (url.contains(".pdf")) {
// Now do what you want to with the url here
}
return true;
}
}
This way, you can intercept any link tapped in WebView and then do whatever you want.
I'm making an application that contains button's and those buttons control an embedded browser. My problem is that I want to see the button's and the web page in the same layout, but when i click on a button this will open a web page and don't show the button, can anyone help me?
If I understand correctly your problem is that following a link opens the standard browser not your WebView, right ?
Add this to your WebView to change that behavior
// this is to prevent that when clicking a new URL from the displayed
// page the default web browser launches
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
You need to use a Layout that supports more than one child. Take a look here
